Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: A Kid Blinded To Emotions

Aiden had already fired the gun, but his small body couldn’t handle the pressure from the recoil. He was thrown several feet back, along with Aaron, who had been about to stop him.

The bullet didn’t reach Aeldric, but it hit the arm of one of the guards standing behind him.

It left the bystanders, the guards, baffled that this little boy truly dared shot the gun, and at the person whom the entire mafia world was scared of.

Serena rushed to the two kids and hugged them tightly. "Are you two alright?"

Aaron nodded, while Aiden looked toward Aeldric over his mother’s shoulder. The old man he wanted to kill was still sitting there, entirely unharmed. His small face darkened with displeasure of failure.

He probably failed to understand he was just a little boy.

"He didn’t die," Aiden mumbled.

Serena immediately looked at him and shook her head. "You’re not supposed to do that."

"But I want him to die," Aiden said resolutely.

Serena simply hugged him tighter, trying to divert his mind from the killing instinct and stop him from talking further.

Alexander came over and gently lifted Aiden into his arms to take him away.

"Where are you taking him?" Aeldric asked.

"I need to check if my son is alright—"

"He’s perfectly fine. Just now he was glaring at me to see if I was still alive," Aeldric said. "Put him down. Let me talk to him."

"My son needs rest," Alexander retorted, meeting his father’s gaze coldly. "You already got your wish of having one of my sons."

The old man smirked. "Very well. From tomorrow, he’s mine."

Alexander walked away with Aiden in his arms, while Serena held Aaron’s hand and followed him after making sure Aaron was okay.

"I can walk," Aiden said to Alexander—his tone as if he were speaking to a stranger.

"I know. Stay put," Alexander said in a warning tone.

Since Alexander had never been consistently present in their lives—only visiting a few times a year—Aiden wasn’t close to him. He was much closer to his mother.

On the other hand, Aaron, though close to his mother as well, respected Alexander. If his brother didn’t show any affection toward their father, Aaron felt it was his responsibility to do so.
